Do you think you could create a memory dump of the aswDisp.exe process when the problem is happening (i.e. it's taking 100% CPU)?
To create the dump, please follow these steps:
- log on as Administrator
- download the program
http://public.avast.com/~vlk/userdump.exe - run the download program with the following parameters
userdump.exe aswDisp.exe c:\aswdisp.dmp
(or, use the PID [Process ID] if the aswDisp.exe instance that's causing the problem)
- the previous step creates file c:\aswdisp.dmp. ZIP this file (name it e.g. aswdisp-dump.zip) and upload it to
ftp://ftp.avast.com/incoming .
Please note that you don't have READ access to the ftp server (only WRITE) - meaning that you won't be able to verify the upload (you won't even see the file listed).
BTW to make things a bit more responsive, it's usually useful to give the offending process "Low" priority (right-click it in the Task Manager, and choose Set Priority -> Low).
Thanks
